Episode notes
Starting From A Low Point
- Ben started his podcast after feeling stuck living with his parents and reading a Napoleon biography that energized him.
- He borrowed radio equipment from a trainer's dad and recorded a first episode using GarageBand and PowerPoint for cover art.
Launch First, Perfect Later
- Start producing and publishing now; refine positioning once you have momentum rather than waiting for a perfect idea.
- Use early episodes to learn and iterate toward a clearer show identity and audience fit.
Script To Stay Focused
- Script episodes fully to keep narrative focus and make editing easier, especially when handling many facts and dates.
- Read or partially read the script during recording but allow moments to go off-script for energy and authenticity.
